This was so interesting because my spouse died in a similar way in 2018. Fell in our garage, hit his head. But his neck bent forward from his head up against the edge of a piece of wood, literally closed his airway. He died of suffocation. Thank heavens I had a coroner who was intelligent enough to see what happened.
I felt his innocence! I feel so sorry for his mother in law. It’s not easy for her to lose her child and again to go through this. A mom knows! She knew he was innocent. May she have many more healthy years with her grand kids!
Miss Tamron Hall - Thank you for hosting another great true crime show. I happen to check Court Tvs youtube channel and am delighted to see you again doing a great job with Someone They Knew. I watched every single episode of 6 seasons of Dead Line Crime on ID. You do an amazing job listening to the victims families and telling their loved ones tragic stories with respect.
I keep going back to watch the crime scene tech lady getting called out for lying under oath about her affair with the lead detective!! So happy the jury got it right!
That 911 call sounds 100% authentic to me - that's real panic, disbelief and horror 🤷🏽♀️. Then again (even before hearing it) I always thought Adam was innocent...
Totally agree!!!💯 That poor man was clearly horrified and in a legit state of panic, shock even. It was heartbreaking. So thankful the jury got this one right.
Definitely agree!!! I cannot imagine (and pray that I NEVER know) what he’s been through after losing his wife. Bless his heart… Imagine being the person to not only find the person you love the most in this world dead… and then being blamed and charged with her death. What a awful traumatic experience that must have been for him.
What helped this case is not just the money of the defendant but his not having an affair outside that marriage. It would have been a different ball game if the husband had extra-marital affairs when his wife died. So it’s good to have a clean background.
He's so lucky that he could afford a defense team that would do their due diligence. People have died from Myocarditis for 1000s of years. I cant believe that State Medical professional dismissed it so quickly.
That's the thing tho: there was no evidence of myocarditis.That defence expert **speculated** the cause of the heart scarring was myocarditis. He admits he's speculating at 34:16. Meanwhile the Medical Examiner stated Lina's heart had healthy function, & was unlikely to be the cause of her death. People certainly die from myocarditis, but according to Johns Hopkins (world-renowned hospital with specialized heart/heart surgery centre) "most cases of myocarditis are self-resolving". And it's pure speculation that Lina even had myocarditis! Typically people with the issues Lina had--minor heart scarring &/or heart arrythmia--live long healthy lives.
My son died of myocarditis it does have severe symptoms before you pass away for my son he was having continuous fits prior to his death three days later. He was aged 3 months and had no viral infection beforehand. You are pretty sick with that virus u wouldn’t be out getting a spray tan for sure.
@@Jinxs-Journey Aw I’m so sorry. I lost my only child as an infant. It’s devastating. I hope you’ve managed to find some peace. Myocarditis is one of those tricky illnesses because of how differently it can present. It can happen more suddenly than it did for your son. I think any heart disease can be like that. My brother just died of the same disease that took our dad, which attacks the heart worst of all. My dad had been discharged from the hospital about two weeks prior to his death and was having what appeared to be a normal day for him and just keeled over dead. My brother on the other hand, had the whole death bed scene, with family around him, knowing he was down to weeks, then days, then hours. The heart is weird. It can hold on till the bitter end and it can also just suddenly stop beating when it’s under attack.
I lost my very healthy, non sickly 15 year old daughter to myocarditis. The description the coroner gave of what her life must have been like before she died was unrecognizable to everyone who knew her. She was NOT sickly. She was active like any teenager. It is a misnomer to say otherwise. Working with American Heart Association and speaking with many cardiologists since then have confirmed this after all, athletes die of this also.
Shame on the "medical examiner" and the state. Not having a forensic pathologist is gross neglegence on the part of the state. Coroner's and medical examiners are unqualified and out of date. It's time to get up to date and move out of the stone ages.
I would not want 100 pedos, r@pists and murderers out to ruin more innocent lives… How could you want all those lives ruined forever, when he can fight his conviction… Victims can’t fight for their lives to be how it was before they became a victim of a horrendous crime against them..
A good friend of mine spent 29 years on death row for a murder he didn't commit. His CPTSD is severe. I was pretty pro-death until I met him. He changed everything for me.
Honestly I thought this was gonna go a completely different direction in the very beginning. I thought they'd say the twin brother had somehow snuck in and killed her for whatever reason. WOW! I am so glad he was found innocent. This judicial system is something else.
Most realities don't end this way. Salute to his legal team, a true definition of a DREAM TEAM. My condolences to the family and loved ones of this beautiful soul 🙏🌺💐
I love he look back at the people he was in jail with in realized that they don't have the resources to prove their innocence and that he was truly blessed
So...... When the Medical Examiner mistakenly determines than a cause of death is homicide and an inoscent person ends up in prison, can they sue the Medical Examiner?? Incompetence can be very dangerous.
Accusing the grandmother of lying on the basis of not seeing the children is absurd, appalling a gross. Not only would she be able to see them she would get full custody of them. The prosecution was wrong in his assertion and out of line. It backfired in epic fashion. As it should have. My apologies to the children's grandmother. I believe you. 🫂 I'm sorry for your loss and all the state has put your family through. You are a beautiful strong woman and an inspiration. May you find peace. Bless you and your family.
Very tragic and sad story. The defense team was amazing. The prosecution attacking Lina’s mom was brutal but they knew they were loosing their case. It’s incredible how they wanted to send an innocent man to prison. That’s not justice. RIP Lina ❤️🙏🏻🕊️ best wishes to this family
I’ve been working in EMS since 2004 they say doing CPR on one of your family members is the worst, I can tell you I’ve done CPR on my brother and he survived when EMS showed up They’re were talking to me very disrespectful once I told them I do the same job as you and all I need is a ride to get my damn brother to the hospital, I’m not kidding there attitudes changed that second thinking I just F up. It’s crazy my sister passed away a few years ago and a month late I almost died and the month after that I did CPR on my brother. I suggest people learn CPR and immediately you training turns into doing what you have to do to save a life. Anything dealing with kids is the worst scene and the calls you don’t want. I love the adrenaline rush going lights and sirens, I’m also very calm at call I go to. I treat people the way I would want my family treated. I honestly should of reported these EMS workers because I was so damn pissed and I saved my brothers damn life like I said I needed a damn ride to the hospital. Also there’s times you can break ribs doing CPR my brother called me the next day and said his ribs were hurting, I said would you rather pain or being in a coffin and he was lucky that I was there and it was me and him and I was trying to asking where the remote was and he didn’t answer I walked over to the bathroom and could hear his breathing I kicked the damn door in and got him to The floor and went into Immediate training.
I have a DNR because of what I know happens to you after CPR as a licensed healthcare provider over 60. Your life could be saved, but it could not be a life you want to live. Think very, very carefully about this once you look at the statistics. They are grim for anyone other than young previously healthy people. Very grim.
I respect you and thank you for doing such a hard job!!! My sister had terminal cancer and she wasn't medically educated so to speak. When discussing DNR with her, she said she wanted it. I explained to her that meant if she had a heart attack or anything like that, there would be no bringing her back. The ER Doctor looked at me and said "So you want your sister to get her ribs cracked open?". Obviously the answer was no but I was really shocked how he treated me. I didn't realize that when CPR is done that it can crack ribs. In the end, she realized what I was saying and she wanted to live as long as possible but not with machines. To this day, I have ZERO RESPECT for that Dr. Talk about bedside manner. Some people..... Again, thank you for what you do everyday!!! I am the type to panic!!!
Totally understand but at same time, my sister has had cracked ribs before and she chose to change her DNR. It is a personal choice. I have never experienced it and she said it was horrific but she also wanted to live as long as it wasn't on machines.
@@Cathy-xi8cb in order for us not to do CPR that paper has to be available, once we start we really can’t stop. You’re absolutely right about what your life could be.
I love Lina's mother's outburst in the court!! You go mama!! I tell my dad everything about my up and down relationship and if something happened to me he would not get up on the stand and speak up for my children's father. I can feel the genuine love Adam had for his wife and I hope he has been able to heal since this....
Wow.....thank God Adam had the financial ability to defend himself. As a Registered Nurse I see this as his wife was dead even before she collapsed onto that "bookcase." Her heart stopped beating...it was an electrical malfunction - she lost consciousness, collapsed and her heart could not re-correct....I disagree that she was "asphyxiated" by the "pressure" of the objects on the bookcase when she fell on them. She was dead before that. Adam did NOT "strangle" her....no way. There was no evidence of any "struggle" in that bathroom indicating she was "fighting for her life" in some of kind of fight with Adam. None whatsoever.
Today, a simple blood test with amazingly quick results could have been taken from Lena right away. Today, top athletes collapse on the field with heart arrest, so people know better. It didn't help Adam much that his identical twin was on the scene either. I know being an EMT arriving at a scene is extremely stressful. If it were me, though, I hope I would have noticed that the spouse alternated between being undressed and distraught, and then fully dressed and composed the next, every time I looked up.
I’m a nurse too, it makes sense to me as well. Just had an aberrant rhythm and she went down. I had a 27 year old nephew die 6 years ago from an ascending dissecting aortic aneurysm. Only symptom he had prior back ache. My family kept insisting they should have found it when he went to ED with a complaint of a backache. I told them that the last thing they would have thought of would be cardiac issues/aneurysm. He died in the shower. Again as you know we just don’t think of some of these things happening in people so young. I figured he had a weakness in the wall from birth and no one ever picked it up.
@@kimclarke5018Absolutely. I’m also a nurse & these last 22 years have taught me that anyone can die of anything! As harsh as those words are, they are indeed fact. I do not envy our doctors oftentimes accompanied by the hospital chaplain tasked with giving death notifications to any family, but especially to the family’s like Lina’s who had no or very minimal warning signs.
Man I remember hearing about this case. Everyone was surprised by a spray tan really?! Some people don't realize they can be allergic to something or a chemical can take someone's life. 😔 R.i.p to beautiful Lina. Ps. I didn't know Tamron Hall was on court TV. I watch her show every afternoon 🙂
Agree allergy is no joke...My cousin was brought to emergency because of hair colour .she's in hair saloon and was suddenly felt nausea and had difficulty breathing, and her face begun to swell.ambulance arrived in time and save her life.
These shows are terrifying and show some police detectives complete incompetence! How do you just pull at straws with a man’s life? I pray no one mysteriously passes who’s close to me
And fainting, difficulty breathing & chest pain is a result of having myocarditis. So she had a preexisting heart condition & her body was signaling an underlying condition by fainting. She pushed it aside, she was healthy, happy & just living & loving her family. "I'm okay mama, see I'm okay". So sad. The horrific part is that they actually took him to trial & resources do matter & it can happen to any one of us.
I RESPECT ADAM FOR SPEAKING UP FOR THE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE THAT IS INCARCERATED ONLY BECUS THY COULDN’T AFFORD AN ATTORNEY!! So many people get Lost in the System especially in Florida and Louisiana !!!
Poor man. What a nightmare to lose his wife to an allergic reaction and then be wrongly accused of her murder. If course the toxic chems covering the entire skin can render some to a serious negative reaction.
@@withgoddess7646 That is correct, she had numerous episodes of fainting. This time she did not recover unfortunately. It was not the tan although it could have contributed.
Everyone is so obsessed with convicting someone even if it's not the correct person just to have it "solved". Unfortunately the spouse ends up SCREWED if they can't get anyone else! William Blackstone nailed it: It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer
I was at Bay Pines VA when this happened, everyday we were piled into the TV room watching this. Out of the 12 guys that were following it, all of us said he didn't do this. He loved her and Florida went way out of bounds on this one.
I have to say thank God for Dr Maracini! Unbelievable that the coroner didn’t even look at the heart tissue in detail but confidently claimed there was no problem with her heart!
I hear love in his voice - every time he mentions his wife! ❤️ sad he had to fight for his justice while mourning his wife. I used to dislike defense attorneys but I know they are absolutely needed and necessary
It’s true he had money and the resources available to him. But, when his mother in law spoke so highly of him in that court, I could tell his wife’s spirit was there right next to her mom trying to protect the man once loved her. RIP Lina
Adam's mother-in-law is a gem! During my Divorce from her precious son, she sued me for $40,000! This is the money her son owed her. Didn't matter. She wanted to repay me for all the sins she thought I had done to her 1 and only. Interestingly he was the one who had cheated on me, but she literally asked me one day if I ever thought that I was responsible for what he did! Yes, I had to spend 42+ yrs with this woman in my life. Adam and all of you who have a loving and sincere mother-in-law cherish and spoil them. RIP LINA ❤🙏🙏💖🙏🙏
@@schnugelischnugg9812 Sorry, upon reading my post,you are right,confusing. My ex husband and Mil are deceased so I can name them now. Glenn =husband and Mil= Bernie. 🥴
First thing I haven't read thru comments and saw the husband's face how happily he was talking about his late wife, I could feel the husband is genuine...
Like he said, How about reconstructing the "American Justice System", poor, middle class (whatever that is nowadays), rich or billionaire it's still a lousy system to get through or out of, even if you're innocent
I remember watching this many years ago and I watched the poor husband's face every day in court and I could just tell by the look on his face he was brokenhearted and innocent and I was so thrilled that they found him innocent God bless the jury
Syncopy, which is the medical term for fainting or passing out, can be caused by an underlying heart condition. Someone with a history of it needs to have a comprehensive check of their heart. It is true that the scarring of her heart was not her cause of death. But the thing I find so outrageous was the exclusion of the magazine rack and contents due to the fact that the marks on her neck and chin made it evident that it was no mechanical weapon or even human hands that caused them. I despise overzealous prosecutors that will stop at nothing to rack up another win in the courtroom and drag an innocent person through the coals in the process. That is not justice. It's barbaric! This case should have never happened. But I am also so greatful that another innocent person wasn't given a prison sentence and was vindicated. Anyone of lesser financial resources for their defense is certainly not as fortunate. My heart goes out to him and his family for the grevious losses they have endured and for all those innocents who are presently sitting in prisons throughout our nation. May God extend His mercy, compassion, and justice to them. ❤
Getting him and his brother mixed up makes complete sense! And why the hell do you need a whole damn swat team to arrest a guy that didn't even know he was a suspect??? No need for a sneak attack! What a waste of resources. There was zero evidence against this man, yet they tried to put him in prison for life. No physical evidence and zero motive. No money issues, affairs, nothing. Throw away that whole police department! So glad the jury got it right! That was genuine fear, panic and sadness in his voice on that 911 call. He tried so hard to save her. RIP Lina and prayers to your family.
I am so relieved and happy for him. This is a very scary thought that any of us could possibly be under suspicion or accused of something you didn't do. 😮
The female detective very upset it seems she slammed the door... when asking about the affair,she said, she is happily married with 3 kids.. the defense like okay so what now answer me yes or no..I like that part..
It is a tragic story indeed. The usual line always intrigues me. “Quiet gated community” it doesn’t happen in places like this. Like having money excluded one from evil and criminal behaviour.
Using SWAT to arrest the husband is overkill. Something wrong with law enforcement when they think they need to go in guns blazing just to arrest a man with no history of violence. Sick cops.
29:45 That has got to be one of the dumbest assertions I have ever seen made, that a mother that loves her daughter would overlook/sweep under the rug her daughter's husband killing her in favor of retaining access to her grandkids. No mother that truly believed or suspected a man of killing her child would support him walking free.
OMG is this unbelievable!! What a joke. And I just cant believe how anyne can keep a straight face in court when your accused of murdering your wife that you love so much... thats must have cost all his strenght. I would not be able to do that. This family should be compensated (give the money to charity)...How this family is treated is just AWFUL.
I appreciate Adam's words at the end and he should be very grateful and either start a foundation in Lina's name or I hope he donates to the innocence project...
Should really do the spouse or former spouse interviews in like a plain white room with no backround. Kinda spoil it when you know the Husband is not in prison
21:18 before I watch the outcome I will say there has been people highly allergic to certain tanning sprays and it sometimes takes hours before your body starts rejecting it and then going into an allergic reaction. Now let me see how this turns out. Lol
The justice system is flawed.Innocent lives have been ruined because they couldn't afford a good powerful team.I was hoping Adam ,from his experience would get involved in a fight to either help other innocent people or correct the flawed process.
I had a similar situation myself but I was lucky enough that I fell left knocking my eye on the sink before falling to the floor. The noise woke my husband up and he called the ambulance. I never found out what caused me fainting 🥹

Truly. The "justice system" is truly corrupt and has no care for justice but feeding the prison slavery industry, bail industry and racketeering fees.

What a tragic situation. I agree with people who say I’d rather let 100 guilty people go free, then to convict one innocent person.
I would not want 100 pedos, r@pists and murderers out to ruin more innocent lives…
How could you want all those lives ruined forever, when he can fight his conviction…
Victims can’t fight for their lives to be how it was before they became a victim of a horrendous crime against them..
Agreed! There is no giving back time or a life to someone who has been unjustly imprisoned or received the death penalty.
A good friend of mine spent 29 years on death row for a murder he didn't commit. His CPTSD is severe. I was pretty pro-death until I met him. He changed everything for me.
Thats Pish-Posh!!
Και δυστυχώς είναι πολλοί αθώοι μέσα και έξω πολλά κτήνη
No money, no justice.
💯
Honestly I thought this was gonna go a completely different direction in the very beginning. I thought they'd say the twin brother had somehow snuck in and killed her for whatever reason. WOW! I am so glad he was found innocent. This judicial system is something else.
Because he has money
@mts4611 I thought exactly the same has you.
Most realities don't end this way. Salute to his legal team, a true definition of a DREAM TEAM. My condolences to the family and loved ones of this beautiful soul 🙏🌺💐
He had the 💰 … others would be locked up
I love he look back at the people he was in jail with in realized that they don't have the resources to prove their innocence and that he was truly blessed
I was impressed that he spoke about the people in prison he met that were wrongly convicted.
So......
When the Medical Examiner mistakenly determines than a cause of death is homicide and an inoscent person ends up in prison, can they sue the Medical Examiner??
Incompetence can be very dangerous.
Accusing the grandmother of lying on the basis of not seeing the children is absurd, appalling a gross. Not only would she be able to see them she would get full custody of them. The prosecution was wrong in his assertion and out of line. It backfired in epic fashion. As it should have.
My apologies to the children's grandmother. I believe you. 🫂 I'm sorry for your loss and all the state has put your family through. You are a beautiful strong woman and an inspiration. May you find peace. Bless you and your family.
❤
Very tragic and sad story.
The defense team was amazing.
The prosecution attacking Lina’s mom was brutal but they knew they were loosing their case.
It’s incredible how they wanted to send an innocent man to prison. That’s not justice.
RIP Lina ❤️🙏🏻🕊️ best wishes to this family
So true! Of course the Prosecution and Medical Examiner did not want to admit that they had it wrong!
Losing not loosing ffs!
I’ve been working in EMS since 2004 they say doing CPR on one of your family members is the worst, I can tell you I’ve done CPR on my brother and he survived when EMS showed up
They’re were talking to me very disrespectful once I told them I do the same job as you and all I need is a ride to get my damn brother to the hospital, I’m not kidding there attitudes changed that second thinking I just F up. It’s crazy my sister passed away a few years ago and a month late I almost died and the month after that I did CPR on my brother. I suggest people learn CPR and immediately you training turns into doing what you have to do to save a life. Anything dealing with kids is the worst scene and the calls you don’t want. I love the adrenaline rush going lights and sirens, I’m also very calm at call I go to. I treat people the way I would want my family treated. I honestly should of reported these EMS workers because I was so damn pissed and I saved my brothers damn life like I said I needed a damn ride to the hospital. Also there’s times you can break ribs doing CPR my brother called me the next day and said his ribs were hurting, I said would you rather pain or being in a coffin and he was lucky that I was there and it was me and him and I was trying to asking where the remote was and he didn’t answer I walked over to the bathroom and could hear his breathing I kicked the damn door in and got him to
The floor and went into
Immediate training.
I have a DNR because of what I know happens to you after CPR as a licensed healthcare provider over 60. Your life could be saved, but it could not be a life you want to live. Think very, very carefully about this once you look at the statistics. They are grim for anyone other than young previously healthy people. Very grim.
You did good and thank you is what they should of said to you ❤
I respect you and thank you for doing such a hard job!!! My sister had terminal cancer and she wasn't medically educated so to speak. When discussing DNR with her, she said she wanted it. I explained to her that meant if she had a heart attack or anything like that, there would be no bringing her back. The ER Doctor looked at me and said "So you want your sister to get her ribs cracked open?". Obviously the answer was no but I was really shocked how he treated me. I didn't realize that when CPR is done that it can crack ribs. In the end, she realized what I was saying and she wanted to live as long as possible but not with machines. To this day, I have ZERO RESPECT for that Dr. Talk about bedside manner. Some people..... Again, thank you for what you do everyday!!! I am the type to panic!!!
Totally understand but at same time, my sister has had cracked ribs before and she chose to change her DNR. It is a personal choice. I have never experienced it and she said it was horrific but she also wanted to live as long as it wasn't on machines.
@@Cathy-xi8cb in order for us not to do CPR that paper has to be available, once we start we really can’t stop. You’re absolutely right about what your life could be.
Good episode. I believed he was innocent since the beginning. He is very sincere.
ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS when an innocent person is vindicated!!!
My heart bleeds for the innocents sitting in jail.
Yes!! Couldn’t agree more
I love Lina's mother's outburst in the court!! You go mama!! I tell my dad everything about my up and down relationship and if something happened to me he would not get up on the stand and speak up for my children's father.
I can feel the genuine love Adam had for his wife and I hope he has been able to heal since this....
If he didn’t have the resources to hire these top notch experts and lawyers, he would have been convicted. Good for him!
Good for him, unfortunate for the rest of us
Wow.....thank God Adam had the financial ability to defend himself. As a Registered Nurse I see this as his wife was dead even before she collapsed onto that "bookcase." Her heart stopped beating...it was an electrical malfunction - she lost consciousness, collapsed and her heart could not re-correct....I disagree that she was "asphyxiated" by the "pressure" of the objects on the bookcase when she fell on them. She was dead before that. Adam did NOT "strangle" her....no way. There was no evidence of any "struggle" in that bathroom indicating she was "fighting for her life" in some of kind of fight with Adam. None whatsoever.
Today, a simple blood test with amazingly quick results could have been taken from Lena right away. Today, top athletes collapse on the field with heart arrest, so people know better. It didn't help Adam much that his identical twin was on the scene either. I know being an EMT arriving at a scene is extremely stressful. If it were me, though, I hope I would have noticed that the spouse alternated between being undressed and distraught, and then fully dressed and composed the next, every time I looked up.
Even if she had followed up on her fainting spells it could have helped her husband
I’m a nurse too, it makes sense to me as well. Just had an aberrant rhythm and she went down. I had a 27 year old nephew die 6 years ago from an ascending dissecting aortic aneurysm. Only symptom he had prior back ache. My family kept insisting they should have found it when he went to ED with a complaint of a backache. I told them that the last thing they would have thought of would be cardiac issues/aneurysm. He died in the shower. Again as you know we just don’t think of some of these things happening in people so young. I figured he had a weakness in the wall from birth and no one ever picked it up.
@@kimclarke5018Absolutely. I’m also a nurse & these last 22 years have taught me that anyone can die of anything! As harsh as those words are, they are indeed fact. I do not envy our doctors oftentimes accompanied by the hospital chaplain tasked with giving death notifications to any family, but especially to the family’s like Lina’s who had no or very minimal warning signs.
Musta got the vaccine
Man I remember hearing about this case. Everyone was surprised by a spray tan really?! Some people don't realize they can be allergic to something or a chemical can take someone's life. 😔
R.i.p to beautiful Lina.
Ps. I didn't know Tamron Hall was on court TV. I watch her show every afternoon 🙂
I almost die from a hair dye.
I was in coma from almost a week.
There's no joke about allergies.
Agree allergy is no joke...My cousin was brought to emergency because of hair colour .she's in hair saloon and was suddenly felt nausea and had difficulty breathing, and her face begun to swell.ambulance arrived in time and save her life.
She might been saved if happened during the day. I am glad her husband was found not guilty in fact I believe he is innocent not just not guilty.
These shows are terrifying and show some police detectives complete incompetence! How do you just pull at straws with a man’s life? I pray no one mysteriously passes who’s close to me
And fainting, difficulty breathing & chest pain is a result of having myocarditis. So she had a preexisting heart condition & her body was signaling an underlying condition by fainting. She pushed it aside, she was healthy, happy & just living & loving her family. "I'm okay mama, see I'm okay". So sad. The horrific part is that they actually took him to trial & resources do matter & it can happen to any one of us.
I RESPECT ADAM FOR SPEAKING UP FOR THE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE THAT IS INCARCERATED ONLY BECUS THY COULDN’T AFFORD AN ATTORNEY!! So many people get Lost in the System especially in Florida and Louisiana !!!
TEAM ADAM !! He carried himself soooooo beautifully. He 100 million % did NOT kill the # 1 LOVE of his life !!!
Poor man. What a nightmare to lose his wife to an allergic reaction and then be wrongly accused of her murder. If course the toxic chems covering the entire skin can render some to a serious negative reaction.
It was a heart problem not poisoning from the face tan.
@@withgoddess7646 That is correct, she had numerous episodes of fainting. This time she did not recover unfortunately. It was not the tan although it could have contributed.
For once, someone who was innocent. And I love & respect that they mentioned how resources matter and the unfair struggles people have to face.
Thank goodness. It was obvious he was totally innocent. He should never been accused.
That chief medical officer is a disgrace
So many innocent people targeted by horrible cops and prosecutors.
I am so glad you won. R.I.P. Lina🙏God Bless you and your children.
Everyone is so obsessed with convicting someone even if it's not the correct person just to have it "solved". Unfortunately the spouse ends up SCREWED if they can't get anyone else!
William Blackstone nailed it:
It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer
That affair with the officers and getting busted in court on tv! 😳
I was at Bay Pines VA when this happened, everyday we were piled into the TV room watching this. Out of the 12 guys that were following it, all of us said he didn't do this. He loved her and Florida went way out of bounds on this one.
The doctor that diagnosed this wrong is the one for me he could have sent an innocent man to prison for the rest of his life, and he was so insistent
I have to say thank God for Dr Maracini! Unbelievable that the coroner didn’t even look at the heart tissue in detail but confidently claimed there was no problem with her heart!
I love this show. Pity they don't post the episodes consistently
I hear love in his voice - every time he mentions his wife! ❤️ sad he had to fight for his justice while mourning his wife. I used to dislike defense attorneys but I know they are absolutely needed and necessary
Omg it kills me when 911 tells you to calm down 😡
Yes! They can word that differently for sure. I get they need to be able to understand what they're saying, but be more sympathetic!
This never should have gone to trial. This is terrifying.
Even in the courts of justice there’s no justice. Money is truly the driving force in this life.
A. People sometimes die unexpectedly without explanation
B. How do you bring this to court without any actual evidence
One of the most compelling shows I've watched in a long time.
It’s true he had money and the resources available to him. But, when his mother in law spoke so highly of him in that court, I could tell his wife’s spirit was there right next to her mom trying to protect the man once loved her. RIP Lina
Police incompetency in this country is an epidemic
Adam's mother-in-law is a gem! During my Divorce from her precious son, she sued me for $40,000! This is the money her son owed her. Didn't matter. She wanted to repay me for all the sins she thought I had done to her 1 and only. Interestingly he was the one who had cheated on me, but she literally asked me one day if I ever thought that I was responsible for what he did! Yes, I had to spend 42+ yrs with this woman in my life. Adam and all of you who have a loving and sincere mother-in-law cherish and spoil them. RIP LINA ❤🙏🙏💖🙏🙏
I am sorry you had to go through that. Your comment, however, is a bit confusinc to me. Who exactly was your mil? And who was your spouse?
@@schnugelischnugg9812 Sorry, upon reading my post,you are right,confusing. My ex husband and Mil are deceased so I can name them now. Glenn =husband and Mil= Bernie. 🥴
Golden oldie
First thing I haven't read thru comments and saw the husband's face how happily he was talking about his late wife, I could feel the husband is genuine...
The 911 call tells me everything I need to know. That was real panic.
Like he said, How about reconstructing the "American Justice System", poor, middle class (whatever that is nowadays), rich or billionaire it's still a lousy system to get through or out of, even if you're innocent
I remember watching this many years ago and I watched the poor husband's face every day in court and I could just tell by the look on his face he was brokenhearted and innocent and I was so thrilled that they found him innocent God bless the jury
Thank you for the video...
Prosecutors that know they are wrong and continue to prosecute should be disbarred
How scary, when you think about all the innocent people in prison, it’s so sad.
Sad case; it's also sad that if a person doesn't have $ to hire attorneys and medical experts, you are screwed!
in the first 10mins i was thinking the brother did it
I had 2 cousins pass from myocarditis. We had never heard of it before then. it’s a silent killer and your body just shuts down.
Blessings on Dr. Merichini.
And everyone hates defense attorneys. THIS is why they are needed. Not everyone accused of a crime, did it.
This is so informative.
Syncopy, which is the medical term for fainting or passing out, can be caused by an underlying heart condition. Someone with a history of it needs to have a comprehensive check of their heart. It is true that the scarring of her heart was not her cause of death. But the thing I find so outrageous was the exclusion of the magazine rack and contents due to the fact that the marks on her neck and chin made it evident that it was no mechanical weapon or even human hands that caused them. I despise overzealous prosecutors that will stop at nothing to rack up another win in the courtroom and drag an innocent person through the coals in the process. That is not justice. It's barbaric! This case should have never happened. But I am also so greatful that another innocent person wasn't given a prison sentence and was vindicated. Anyone of lesser financial resources for their defense is certainly not as fortunate. My heart goes out to him and his family for the grevious losses they have endured and for all those innocents who are presently sitting in prisons throughout our nation. May God extend His mercy, compassion, and justice to them. ❤
Getting him and his brother mixed up makes complete sense! And why the hell do you need a whole damn swat team to arrest a guy that didn't even know he was a suspect??? No need for a sneak attack! What a waste of resources. There was zero evidence against this man, yet they tried to put him in prison for life. No physical evidence and zero motive. No money issues, affairs, nothing. Throw away that whole police department! So glad the jury got it right! That was genuine fear, panic and sadness in his voice on that 911 call. He tried so hard to save her. RIP Lina and prayers to your family.
I am so relieved and happy for him. This is a very scary thought that any of us could possibly be under suspicion or accused of something you didn't do. 😮
That married heux was big mad lol,spicy😂. I hate to think how many innocent people are locked up,truly sad.
The female detective very upset it seems she slammed the door... when asking about the affair,she said, she is happily married with 3 kids.. the defense like okay so what now answer me yes or no..I like that part..
thank God this man had the means for a good defense.
So did OJ does not mean he is innocent.
My mother died the same way. Enlarged heart. No prior heart issues.
Unfortunately so many people are wrongfully convicted due to financial reasons.
It is a tragic story indeed. The usual line always intrigues me. “Quiet gated community” it doesn’t happen in places like this. Like having money excluded one from evil and criminal behaviour.
The prosecutor who thought it was smart to attack the victim’s mom should find a new line of work.
Damn that stood out to me when her mom said that cuz I always get dizzy lightheaded and faint too .
Using SWAT to arrest the husband is overkill. Something wrong with law enforcement when they think they need to go in guns blazing just to arrest a man with no history of violence. Sick cops.
Love how the defence totally shot down the crimescene techs credibility. Boom!
There is enough innocent people in prison. So glad these kids still have their dad!
29:45 That has got to be one of the dumbest assertions I have ever seen made, that a mother that loves her daughter would overlook/sweep under the rug her daughter's husband killing her in favor of retaining access to her grandkids. No mother that truly believed or suspected a man of killing her child would support him walking free.
If he don’t have money this innocent man 100% in jail rest of his life I’m sure lot of innocent people serving time in jail 😞
OMG is this unbelievable!! What a joke. And I just cant believe how anyne can keep a straight face in court when your accused of murdering your wife that you love so much... thats must have cost all his strenght. I would not be able to do that. This family should be compensated (give the money to charity)...How this family is treated is just AWFUL.
I appreciate Adam's words at the end and he should be very grateful and either start a foundation in Lina's name or I hope he donates to the innocence project...
That jury did it right. They had doubt. They didn't convict. Good job jury.
Thank You for the video.
such an important message here, wow!
Should really do the spouse or former spouse interviews in like a plain white room with no backround. Kinda spoil it when you know the Husband is not in prison
Happy he was vindicated. I don't believe he was guilty.
I wonder if he was able to Sue I would like to hear that he was and got tons and tons of money
21:18 before I watch the outcome I will say there has been people highly allergic to certain tanning sprays and it sometimes takes hours before your body starts rejecting it and then going into an allergic reaction. Now let me see how this turns out. Lol
So sad. But I'm glad he was acquitted. He seems like a really good person.
There was really no need of the lady lying about the affair. Not an honest person
I remember this story. The poor husband and family went through hell after Lena died. Bad enough their hearts are broken with Lena's passing.
The justice system is flawed.Innocent lives have been ruined because they couldn't afford a good powerful team.I was hoping Adam ,from his experience would get involved in a fight to either help other innocent people or correct the flawed process.
I had a similar situation myself but I was lucky enough that I fell left knocking my eye on the sink before falling to the floor. The noise woke my husband up and he called the ambulance. I never found out what caused me fainting 🥹
